LaTeX is a typesetting language used widely by academics to write research papers and articles. It's similar in function (not in syntax) to markup such as HTML, but more geared towards presenting math equations and symbols. There are a number of packages for generating images from LaTeX. So a LaTeX forum plugin enables users to post complex math content in a perfectly readable manner. It's becoming popular in physics and math forums.
